Good day to everyone! I want to buy a "new" very low budget GPU and CPU. I have found a GPU that might suit my needs..but I have a problem.I have a 400w source( model OCZ400SXS-EU ) and I don't think it will be enough for this specs:
GPU: GTX 460 1GB
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955
RAM: 5GB
MotherBoard: GA-MA770-UD3
Source: OCZ400SXS-EU
What do you think guys..would it be enough so I can run this spec..if not what source should I buy?

That build has the potential to be >300W in theoretical max.
A 400W quality PSU would probably be ok, but OCZ's can be hit or miss (mostly misses). Is the PSU new? PSUs deteriorate over time, so if it's a few years old then I can only imagine you'll have no end of headaches.

There's a possibility you'll be fine & it'll just 'work', but I wouldn't bet on it.

The only way I can think to describe it is; you're on a tight budget now. For the sake of a decent PSU ($35-$50 generally), could you afford to replace this whole rig if it did go 'worst case'?

Thank you for the answers guys! really appreciate it! and Barty1884,my PSU is quite old,like 8 years old :)) so...yeah.
Thank you for the site Multipack.. I will look into it and see if I will ever finish that list :)) . And yeah I know..GTX 460 isn't much but it's for a very short period so..no much sense in buying really good hardware because I won't use them later.
